एको वशी निष्क्रियाणां बहूणामेकं बीजं बहुधा यः करोति । तमात्मस्थं येऽनुपश्यन्ति धीरास्तेषां सुखं शाश्वतं नेतरेषां ॥
eko vaśī niṣkriyāṇāṃ bahūṇāmekaṃ bījaṃ bahudhā yaḥ karoti | tamātmasthaṃ ye'nupaśyanti dhīrāsteṣāṃ sukhaṃ śāśvataṃ netareṣāṃ ||
The one controller of the many who are inactive, who makes the one seed into many: the steadfast who see Him dwelling in themselves, to them belongs eternal happiness, not to others.
जो निष्क्रिय अनेकों का एक नियंता है, जो एक बीज को अनेक रूपों में बना देता है, उसे जो धीर पुरुष अपने भीतर स्थित देखते हैं, शाश्वत सुख उन्हीं का है, दूसरों का नहीं।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Lasting happiness is not found by collecting more outside, but by seeing what is already within. Pleasures come and go; the joy of knowing the Self does not.
स्थायी सुख बाहर अधिक इकट्ठा करने से नहीं, बल्कि भीतर जो पहले से है उसे देखने से मिलता है। सुख आते-जाते हैं; आत्मा को जानने का आनंद नहीं जाता।
The sage says that eternal happiness belongs to the wise who see within themselves the one controller who makes the one seed many; not to others.
